Watch BBC parenting clips online for free

3 March 2006

We all know pregnancy and bringing up children can be a rollercoaster ride. It’s always comforting to see how others have coped with similar problems and to pick up tips from the experts.

And now, for the first time, the BBC has taken all the best clips and tips from three popular parenting programmes and made them available online for free. You can search by topic, your child’s age or programme to find the specific information you need, exactly when you need it, day or night.

BBC Parenting Video On Demand is introduced by mum-of-three Melinda Messenger, who helps guide Mums and Dads to the most relevant clips. The simple search menus also make it easy to find the information you’re looking for.

All of the clips are taken from successful BBC shows Child of Our Time, fronted by Professor Robert Winston, Little Angels and The Human Body and are full of practical tips for tackling the highs and lows of family life.

You can watch the clips there and then or, if you prefer, you can save clips that interest you in your own folder for quick access at a later date. You can also forward clips to a friend.

So if you want child development advice from Prof Winston, tantrum-taming tips from Dr Tanya Byron and the Little Angels team, or simply want to what’s going on inside your body during pregnancy, BBC Parenting Video On Demand has something for you and is not to be missed.

BBC Parenting Video On Demand is available FREE on the BBC website (for a trial period only) anytime between now and the end of June 06. Check it out now. www.bbc.co.uk/parenting/video/
